About This Quote

God’s omnipotence, His consuming holiness, and His right to judge that make Him worthy to be feared. This is a quote from the Gospel of John by St. John. It is used to show that God is able to do anything He wants, that He is holy, pure, and righteous in all His ways, and that He has the power to judge those who are not good.

The quote shows the fact that God knows what is right and what is wrong. We often ask ourselves why bad things happen to us or to others. We wonder why someone does not have the good things we have.

The answer lies in God’s omnipotence, His consuming holiness, and His right to judge.
